2019 Domaine Andree Anjou Carbone Rouge Loire, France
$53.00
Despite being very close to each other, the difference in the age of the vines and the geology of the "Carbone" and "Les Mines" parcels produces two very distinct expressions of Cabernet Franc. Both parcels have a lot of clay in the soil but Carbone comes from a darker soil, rich in coal and granite. Carbone comes from a parcel of 70 year old Cabernet Franc vines. Carbone is aged in barrel (30% new) for one year before being bottled.
